What drives eviction risk in Spencer
36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $2,036 a month, rents run 42% over what the rest of New Lenox commands.
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Will County average of 4.2.
Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.7/10. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally.
The voucher gap is 15.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
